Quantities are auto-calculated from the original recipe as a guide. Items without numbers (e.g. “to taste”) are not changed.
Method 5 steps
Fry the onion and peppers in the oil for ten minutes, until the pepper is soft and sweet.
Add the garlic, cumin, paprika and harissa and warm them for a minute — to the smell, not to burning.
Pour in the tomatoes, crush them and simmer for fifteen minutes. The sauce is ready when a spoon leaves a track on the bottom.
Make hollows with a spoon and break an egg into each. Cover and give it five to seven minutes: the whites set, the yolks stay loose.
Scatter over the feta and coriander and serve it in the pan with bread.
